Who would have ever thought that I would be where I am today considering all of the things that have been placed in my way from day one?
Anyone who knew me in middle school or high school could confirm that I was not a very attractive person, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if most people considered me darn right annoying. Looking back. . . I would agree. I was so lost back then, I bounced between my parents homes every time something got hard or difficult with them. Any argument sent me packing my bags and moving in with the other one. I had enough of high school by my sophomore year, yet somehow decided that because I wanted to be a drum major in our high school marching band I would stick around. I made it only 2 months into senior year before I couldn't handle it anymore. I took a test, got my GED, got extremely depressed and continued to gain more and more weight. By my freshman year of college, I was just shy of 200 pounds. Met a guy, got married, had 3 pregnancies (1 which resulted in a miscarriage, probably due to such an unhealthy lifestyle), and after giving birth to my 2nd son in March 12, 2010 I was at a staggering 239 pounds!!
My marriage very shortly started going down the drain, those closest to me know the story, but it's really not appropriate that I explain it on here. . . However that was the beginning of my life when I started making some really good decisions.
The first of those which was joining BeachBody as a coach. Why I thought do that when no one wanted to follow me? The concept of JOIN because others will want to loose weight with you didn't really make sense to me, but for some reason I did it anyway, and OH MY GOSH am I glad that I did. I am now below 180 pounds, over 60 pounds DOWN! I have more motivation, and energy to do more in my day. I am productive! For the first time in my entire life I feel like I have some experience! That my life has purpose! BeachBody did so much more for me than just help me loose weight. . . gosh I wish I could get that message across to more people. It has truly changed the way I live my life. If there is any thought in your mind that you want a better life, we should talk. BeachBody isn't a pyramid scheme, its not just selling products, making a commission and pushing more and more product to fill a status quota. It has changed my life, and when I saw how it was changing my cousins life (Stephanie Erickson) I wanted what she had. Now I have NOT gone as far as she has, because she is truly amazing and could blow me out of the water any day, but it's something that I am working towards in my own time.
Please let me know if there is any way I can help you! This is my passion!
Well I'm still a little side tracked. . . I also wanted to say that I am back in college, working towards finishing my bachelors degree, providing a wonderful environment for my sons. My two little boys, Christopher and Zachary are thriving! Each day that I get with them is a blessing, and although I have had a lot on my plate lately, I feel a lot more capable of handling it.
